I'm in Control

I’m in Control

You don’t own me, and you cannot control me.
Every aspect of my life does not begin and end with you.
I’m turning this car around and this is how it’s gonna be.
Smile this way again…I’m not finished yet.

No more sleepless nights.
I won’t be locking anymore doors!
You’re not worth the time.
I’m taking back my life.
I’m letting it all go ‘cause I am the one in control!

For months I thought I was crazy.
Unaware of the reasons for the bursts of writing energy,
I did not understand. I could not comprehend what had happened.
Lost in a daze, in my own world…functioning at half my best.
Questioning what part of me was left?
Not the road I had envisioned…
Life is only what we make of it.
So I’m making this situation my own.
You got the best of me once, but no more.
I could care less what becomes of you.
It’s time for me to take back what you stole and finish what I had set out to do.

No more tears
You won’t be in the back of my mind anymore.
I’m tossing all of my fears aside.
You’re not worth the time.
I’m taking back my life.
I’m letting it all go ‘cause I am the one in control!
